I would pay zero per hour/day/month/year. I would be open to paying a flat upfront price though. Like we have always done for car features. If this subscription trend continues, cars will become like iphones.
For an Iphone you pay $800, get only 64GB SSD with about 50GB usable which will run out in a matter of months. Then you pay Apple $3 every month until eternity just to be able to use your phone, otherwise it will fill up and even non-apple services will fail to backup (eg, Whatsapp).
For future cars you will pay $30k for the car, which does not have radio, drive assist, etc. And you pay $2 every month to unlock the radio, $2 to unlock the Bluetooth, $2 to unlock the voice control, $2 for climate control, $10 for drive assists, and so on. Keep paying otherwise these basic features will become locked and the hardware you paid for will become less useful.
- sofixa 5y agoWe're talking about a new type of car feature, one that needs constant work and updates. It's not unreasonable to have to pay-per-use for it.
- perryizgr8 5y ago> We're talking about a new type of car feature, one that needs constant work and updates. Why would it need constant updates? They should release and sell the feature when it is done.
- sofixa 5y agoBecause we're talking about an extremely complex algorithm that will need tweaking with time.
- perryizgr8 5y agoSure, tweak all you want. Sell when it is ready.
